established in 1969. The school is located on the western edge of the city, thus obtaining students from both suburban and rural backgrounds. In 2017 it was rated decile 4.


History

Established in 1969, the school was initially based at Henderson High School until the buildings on the current site at Don Buck Road were completed in 1970. Initially the school had a rural makeup but as the city of

spread to the west and north the school experienced significant roll growth and an increase in suburban students. In order to accommodate this, the school used prefabricated classrooms. The school was built to the Nelson Two-Storey standard plan, like most New Zealand secondary schools built in the 1960s. The Nelson Two-Storey is characterised by its two-storey H-shaped classroom blocks, with stairwells at each end of the block and a large ground floor toilet and cloak area on one side. Massey High School has three Nelson Two-Storey blocks. In 2003 the school began a campus development programme to bring facilities up to date, opening the Bruce Candy Science Centre, a three-story complex with labs for physics, biology, chemistry, electronics and horticulture. Classroom allocation was streamlined in 2003 to create buildings for each department, with buildings being specifically dedicated to English, international languages, mathematics, computing and commerce, art, and history. The Science Centre was followed in 2004 by the Jack Adam Gymnasium (the second gymnasium on campus), as well as a refurbished swimming pool and athletics complex. A technology building was completed in 2005 with rooms for wood, fabric and metal technologies as well as automotive studies. In July 2008 MHS was the venue for the launching of the Ministry of Health's Food and Beverage Classification System for New Zealand schools and early childhood education. In the same year the school celebrated its 40th anniversary. Honored with a Massey High School Alumni Award were Jack Adam, Dr Robert Dunlop, Professor
